Just finished watching the entire thing and I have to say that although it doesn't compare much to the manga nor the anime in terms of certain character personality or some minor details like setting and such. It's still quite interesting to watch and enjoyable.

~Live Action can't replicate much from an original manga/anime but this one is still worth watching.

Not that excited about live action versions. The acting tends to be robotic and dry and most of the time you already know what's going to happen since they strictly follow the format the manga or anime have established. However, since I'm a Yūko Ichihara fan I'll give it a go. I just hope this doesn't ruin my experience with the previous incarnations.

The special FX are pretty much the only kinda cool thing in this show, other than the that.. The actors? Bad, the acting? Worse, the music, dialogue, story and anything else? Downright embarrassing! It's boring and not scary at all! Definitely one of the WORST manga/anime - Live adaption films i've ever seen.
